    The Soviets were imperialists in action, yes. But in no way can they be reasonably labeled fascists.

    Read a history book and maybe learn some political theory.

      I never said they were fascists, just that they were allied and supporters of fascism. Stalin himself wrote an op-ed that argued using military force to destroy Nazism (the stated war goals of France and Briton) was “criminal stupidity”.

      I’m not the one with a reading problem.

        Ok so you have a highschool level of understanding of pre-WW2 Soviet Union diplomacy and ignoring the entire history prior and after.

        Great historical analysis skills.

          Both times, the person you are responding to gave some arguments, and both times you answer has been to simply insult them. You need to calm down, buddy.
